WASHINGTON, Nov 12 (Reuters) – The American public wants the unpopular eight-month-long war on Iran to end, and showed it by handing President Donald Trump’s Republicans a resounding defeat in last week’s congressional elections.
Trump acknowledged that unhappiness about the conflict contributed to his party’s losses, but defends the war, both insisting that he has won itand saying it will continue.
Congress cannot unilaterally end the war, but can pressure the president to do so.
